Newton Abbot: Totnes Turnpike Trust: The monthly meeting of the trustees was held on Friday 11th at Beazley’s Globe Hotel, when there were present W. … Esq., Chairman, Sir Warwick Tonkin, R. Durant, Esq. (Harpham). W.T. Watts, Esq., N. Gillard, Esq., Rev. R. Hext (Kingsteington, Messrs. C. Bowden, J. Creed, C. Wills, J. H. Whiteway, Goodridge, J. Vicary, W. Flamank, T. Flamank, J. Pidsley, W. Rendell (Staverton), R. Rendell, J. Pinsent, White, Matherdon, J. Harris … etc. … Rev. R. Hext complained of the very bad state of the road between Kingsteignton and Preston Gate. A committee consisting of Messrs. J. Creed, C. Wills, W. Flamank, J. Whiteway, were appointed to view and report. The Surveyor reported that the toll bar, at the Two Mile Oak, had been destroyed, and the one at Ogwell Lane injured, and was ordered to restore them. The clerk was directed to offer a reward of £5 for the discovery of the offenders, and the like sum for any further destroyer of the trust property. Mr. Gillard, in pursuance of notice given by him at the previous meeting at Totnes, moved that the resolution carried at Newton in October last should be rescinded, and that Mr. Watts should carry his tramway across the Kingsteignton road from his Clay-works, in accordance with a resolution of the trustees at a meeting held for the special purpose in 1851 Totnes. Mr. C. Wills seconded the motion.  A letter from Mr. Pinsent, of Greenham (sic), was read, stating that from living near the spot, he had found the tramway a very great evil, having at one time the spring of his carriage broken, whilst other accidents had arisen from it, and in one instance the death of a person. Mr. Whiteway seconded this amendment. …

Cape and Natal News: Wednesday 1st August 1860

Natal: … then D’Urban is having its sandy streets hardened: Clay and concrete is being laid down the principal thoroughfares and broken bricks layered thereupon. This forms a capital surface, hard, elastic, and tolerably durable. An expense of £2,000 will probably have to be incurred for the execution of this indispensable work. A proposal has lately been originated in D’Urban by Mr. Councillor Pinsent to make provision by endowment for the establishment of a high school, college, and public library at the port. Communications upon the subject have appeared in various papers, and one professional writer has given the project an encouraging fiat; the thing may therefore be regarded as being fairly before the public, and as most of our actions are characterised the zeal of youth, we shall no doubt ere long count a college amongst the number of our institutions. … …

Wells Journal: Saturday 23rd June 1860

Langport: On Monday, Mr. Thomas Pitty, of Oath, was hauling timber from Burton Pinsent, and finding the shafts tipped, he sat on them to keep them down, but had not proceeded far before the horse began to kick. In jumping off to take the horse’s head, Mr. Pitty fell before a piece of timber which was slung under the carriage, and as the horse went fast clown a slight incline, the poor man was forced on over the road, and was crushed in a frightful manner, almost every rib being broken. He was taken to a cottage close by, and Mr. Larcombe, surgeon, was sent for, but there is only very slight hope of his recovery.

Retention of Dr. Bullar as physician to the infirmary: On Monday, at 1 o’clock a special meeting of governors was held in the boardroom at the Infirmary, consequent on the committee of management having received an intimation that Dr. Bullar will in future make Bassett Wood much more his place of residence than Prospect place, Southampton, to consider and decide whether the eighty eighth rule should not be relaxed, if necessary, so far as to allow Dr. Bullar to continue physician to the infirmary, notwithstanding such partial residence at Bassett.
